As to the VP's, it obviosuly would have to be along with the 3 Prez' mentioned above, if at all. It is not with Jeff, I remember that... so it is either with the 2 M's or not at all. That's the best I can do.. no names ( I am not like Marlow)

Miracle on 34th Street?

I seem to recall Kris Kringle complaining about all of the psych tests that he has to take, and they always ask the same questions. He then goes through all the questions with the answer. He adds the vice president one, and notes that the questioners wouldn't know that one. I didn't get to see that movie this year.
